Estelle completed her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy at Springfield College in Springfield, MA where she worked with college athletes. She founded LeClair Therapy, Inc in 1997 and joined as co-owner Essex Physical Therapy in 2001. She has studied Craniosacral Techniques with the Upledger Institute and has developed a strong background in sports medicine and overuse injuries with an emphasis in manual physical therapy. Her practice specializes in the non-surgical treatment of back, neck, hip, knee, and headache pain, as well as post surgical shoulder rehabilitation. Her 16 years of clinical practice in physical therapy lead her in 2007 to the designation of Postural Restoration Certified (PRC). Her passion for Postural Restoration science and patient interventions has lead to a reputation for successful clinical outcomes and the opportunity to provide in-services to physicians, physical therapists, coaches and athletes in the implementation of Postural Restoration in their practice. Estelle is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association. She works with student athletes in the Essex School District and has particular interest working with soccer, hockey, golf, and baseball players, as well as ballet dancers. Estelle lives in Essex with her husband and her three sons. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking with her dog, playing women’s and co-ed soccer, skiing, snowshoeing, golfing, and traveling.

History of Passion

The Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) is built around 30 years of clinical practice associated with recurring successes of specific patient treatment programs. We established reproducible, outcome-based programs based on consistent evidence-based correlations, discovered with patient biomechanical, respiratory, and neurological functional patterns and limitations. My passion for the integrated systems of the body has resulted in an examination and intervention process of the asymmetrical human body called Postural Restoration.
